Synopses & Reviews
In three comic novels that span ten years and two continents, Dick Wimmer's Irish Wine Trilogy follows the misadventures of brilliant Irish painter Seamus Boyne; his old friend, Gene Hagar; his wife-and Hagar's lost love-Ciara; and his estranged teenaged daughter, Tory. A would-be suicide rudely interrupted by a murder attempt, a staged death that leads to a rollicking caper of kidnapping and mistaken identity, and bizarre love triangles are some of the hijinks and tomfoolery to be found in Irish Wine, Boyne's Lassie, and Hagar's Dream-collected here for the first time.
